Analysis by track
Experience
Genocide involves mass killing, terror, suffering, and trauma.
Agency
It annihilates the agency of the targeted group and corrupts the moral agency of perpetrators and bystanders.
Possibility
It forecloses biological, cultural, historical, and personal futures.
Reality-contact
Genocide depends on dehumanisation, propaganda, and counterfeit claims about purity or destiny.
Destruction
Mass destruction of experience-bearing subjects.
Corruption
Mass corruption of agency through dehumanisation and obedience.
Foreclosure
Erasure of people, culture, memory, and future possibility.
Residue
The residue is historical, cultural, familial, and civilizational.
Process
No process can launder genocide into good. Prevention, protection, accountability, and memory are required.
The framework blocks genocide at the type level: the claimed benefit is not valid moral currency.
